So much propaganda.
Especially when by being open minded he exposes “intellectual-yet-idiots” like Bruno Macaes. Overall, be brings a fascinating array of thinkers on and that makes for a lively show.
I’ve been listening to Demetri Kofinas for so long and being thinking of writing a five star review for a lot as well. Unfortunately, I couldn’t do it due to my choice of podcast. With iPad I can finally finish this.
I appreciate all the talks and books and lately the newsletters. I need to work out my payment method so that I can pay some fees. You know I am cut off from the rest of the world.
Thank You Thank you Thank you
Podcast has an interesting premise and a nice variety of guests. Weak link is the host babbling on about his personal views and interrupting his guests. Painful to listen to.
It was ok before 2025. Then Demetri keeps interrupting guests with political views that no one cares. Just go listening to Pod save America if you like that kinda contents.
